I feel like the biggest issue is what would amount to homeless corralling, and if they violated the law by living outside the designated zone, they’d be fined. The state knows they wouldn’t be able to pay, and thus 90+ days of prison labor.
“The proposed legislation grants cities the authority to designate specific areas for unhoused individuals. If individuals are found outside of the designated area, residing in a tent, hut, temporary shelter, or vehicle with the intention to sleep, they may face misdemeanor charges, leading to a fine of $5,000 and a potential imprisonment of up to 90 days.”
Don’t get me wrong, the deadly force bits are definitely worse, but I feel like what I quoted above is the true motivation.
Your vehicle is your private property, so this is saying a legally parked person on their own private property who intends to fall asleep can be punished with a 5k fine and 90 days in jail.
No more going out to your car over break to take a nap.
The way the law is written, yeah. Rest stops on highways aren’t designated camping areas, so if you sleep there on a road trip, you could potentially wind up in jail.
There’s is no way the layman could even be aware of a law like this. I know ignorance isn’t an excuse but most laws are command fucking sense. Clear rights violation of I was in the courts.
There is a simple test to determine if someone is living in their car and in violation or taking a nap and legally ok.
Do they look homeless or are they a minority? Also known as “White is right.” test or “You know porn or art when you see it.” test. No need to add additional training to properly enforce the law, previous transferrable training is standard.

Or pulling over on a long drive
They’ll jail people who sleep at rest stops, too. :(
Excuse me?? Isn’t that why they exist to rest.

There’s a word for what they’re doing.
It’s called tyranny.

Hmmm. This feels eerily similar to an episode of star trek deep space nine.
Only 225 days to go.
I was just thinking about that episode with the Bell riots when I read that comment as well.
Ah, so the Sanctuary Cities that preceed the Bell Riots.
Funny how reality mimics fiction, or more accurately, fiction predicts future reality.
Concentration camps for homeless people
😡😡😡 🤦🤦🤦
